First, I have to say that I'm completely overwhelmed by the 40 pages in this thread and it's lead me to this -> I'm sorry but there are way too many incoherent posts that have nothing to do with the game here. I can't tell what's going on.

Hey there Moraline!

We'd love to have you join us. We thought about the fact that these pages are a lot of chatter to wade through and that's why we added all the important GM announcements to the first post of this thread, as well as a FAQ section to the WIKI with every important question and answer for players, new and old to peruse.

I've been looking at this off/on for days. I want to play but...

Are you still looking for players?

Our recruitment will be ongoing for the time being.

How new player friendly is this?

I would say it's very new player friendly. Technically all our players are new to the game. We only opened recruitment on December 31st.

Do you have OOC mentors that are willing to help new players to join? (I don't want to get dropped into a world I only have a passing familiarity with and just end up twiddling my thumbs. - or getting killed, is that even possible?)

MichaelCorvus and I, as GMs are more than happy to help you to dip your toe into the setting if you'd like. Other than us, I'm sure there are more than a few players who would be willing to do the same.

PCs cannot and will not actually die unless the player of said PC agrees to it. There will still be danger and still be medical bills... and as far as your character knows, he or she can die, but telling someone their character is dead is in my mind a form of godmodding. This isn't a true system game. I hope that made sense.

Is there PvP in this game?

Quote

If there is, each person's basic stats and gear should be compared and the result of the fight agreed upon in PMs beforehand. Even if a character loses, they can still look cool doing it. It's all about the RP.

That said, I don't forsee loads of PvP in this game. Shadowrunners tend to band together for the most part, at least nominally.

Has the game already started?

No. The true IC threads will be created tomorrow, so we have not begun yet.

A suggestion: Create a side stories thread in extreme for the rough stuff to happen off camera, but available for the reading enjoyment of the other players. Use tags to keep track of who is with whom.

Heya HG!

You know joo want to plaaaaaaaaay...

The problem with that is when we go big game, all the threads have to go in the same subforum and that'll have to be in one section.

Yes, that is a problem, all the threads have to be grouped. Shadowrun is just made for rough and kinky stuff. I spotted that the first time I read it.

Hmmm. The game in extreme, but say clearly and often that the hard stuff is optional, if somebody does not want to go there, they don't go there and if they complain about being pressured, the consequences will be dire for the person who will not take no for an answer?

I had put under Lottie's "interests" interrogation roleplay, which would be a BDSM thing and possibly too strong for the Light category. I should have paid attention to the game rating. I don't know that Lottie will ever have a sex scene, but if she does, it sounds like I should not pursue the BDSM elements. They would not be especially tame.
